A strong scientific basis underlies the teaching of nursing practice, leadership, and research. Related clinical experiences are arranged within the Reagan UCLA Medical Center, its affiliates, other major medical centers, or in selected community sites.
At the bachelor’s level, nurses are prepared as generalists with special skills in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and care within a population-based context, leadership, and evidence-based practice. At the master’s level, nurses are prepared as generalists in hospital-based care or for advanced nursing practice as nurse practitioners, or clinical specialists, or administrators in a variety of settings and specialized areas of healthcare. The doctor of philosophy (PhD) program prepares scholars who do original research, generate new theories, and build the scientific basis for professional nursing practice. Research is both basic and applied.
